Our Cosmetic Dentistry Procedures
The natural elegance of your smile encompasses more than just the appearance of your teeth. It involves the contours and structure of your entire face, and your new crowns and veneers must complement them while being vibrant. You will receive newfound confidence when smiling and interacting with others.
We offer a variety of cosmetic dental solutions to help you achieve the healthy, beautiful smile you deserve, including:
Smile Makeover
A smile makeover is a combination of customized procedures designed to comprehensively improve the appearance of your whole smile. It’s important to remember that cosmetic dentistry is not solely focused on aesthetics. Many procedures correct more than just cosmetic flaws; they also
- remove defective restorations frequently with recurrent decay
- strengthen your bite
- restore your oral health
- enhance your overall well-being
Porcelain Veneers
Dental veneers are thin, customized shells of ceramic material that are bonded to the front surface of your teeth to conceal a wide range of cosmetic imperfections. They are typically used to reshape misshapen, gapped, or malpositioned teeth. Porcelain veneers need to have translucency for them to appear natural.
For that reason, Dr. Marlin will not recommend dental veneers if your teeth are severely discolored. If the underlying teeth are too dark, the veneers will appear “fake” as the technician uses white opaque to mask the underlying tooth’s dark color. Furthermore, veneers should never be used on anterior teeth with large fillings, as they will need to be redone when the underlying fillings break down with possible decay.
Porcelain crowns
When conditions preclude the use of veneers, Dr. Marlin will recommend crowns as the “tried and proven,” preferred therapy. Hand-crafted by our talented laboratory technician, dental crowns provide the ideal shape, color, and translucency of natural teeth—no matter what the color or shape of your underlying tooth.
Contact us today to learn how Dr. Marlin’s custom dental crowns can give you the radiant natural smile you’ve always wanted.
Teeth Whitening as an Art
A dazzling, white smile can give you a healthy, vibrant appearance and boost your self-confidence in social and professional settings. Our professional chairside teeth whitening services can be an affordable solution to revamping your smile.
Rather than using “bleaching trays,” we control the whitening of multiple teeth having different colorations to create a uniform, sparkling appearance and, most importantly, to prevent a critical loss of translucency from “over whitening.” Opaque, over-whitened teeth appear “fake,” especially with a tanned or darker complexion.
Dental implants
Allowing missing teeth to go untreated can jeopardize your health and appearance. Dental implants are the gold standard of tooth replacement options, and Dr. Marlin is one of the most respected and renowned implant specialists in the nation. Visit our dental implants page for examples and more information about your options.
Dr. Marlin works diligently to create world-class smiles without ever sacrificing the functionality and health of your teeth and gums. If you live in the Washington DC area, including Maryland and Northern Virginia, please call us at 202-244-2101 to begin the journey toward your perfect smile.
Gum Contouring
If you suffer from a “gummy smile,” Dr. Marlin can help you achieve the ideal gum contours you desire and create a naturally beautiful smile.

When Michael fell and broke his front teeth over the weekend, we brought him in, took records, fabricated temporary crowns overnight, and, with the accommodation of one of our patients, he had an immediate smile makeover the next day. Four months later, after everything healed, he was entirely rejuvenated.

Cosmetic Dentistry in Washington DC- FAQS
Cosmetic dentistry is dental treatment that improves the beauty and health of one’s smile. Nearly every dental procedure has two elements: Aesthetics and function. A quality professional takes both of these elements into consideration so that one may rest assured they will not only look great, but enjoy hassle free long-term results.
We offer a wide variety of services and treatments to help improve the aesthetics of your smile. From cosmetic veneers to help create a uniform appearance to dental implants that can help replace missing or damaged teeth, we invite you to take a look at our smile makeover section to see how we have helped previous patients and how we can help you. Your smile says a lot about you – make sure it says all of the right things.
We understand that our patients have different financial situations, and to help ensure that each patient can afford the dental care he or she needs, we provide several flexible payment options to work within your budget. Whether considering dental implant or cosmetic dentistry treatments, we encourage you to call our office and a member of our team will be glad to explain each option, in detail, and to help to determine which option is best suited for you.
Porcelain veneers, also referred to as porcelain laminates, are thin “shell-like” pieces of porcelain that are bonded to the front of the teeth in order to change tooth shape or color. They are a quick, easy, and effective means of creating a more uniform smile.
Technological advancements in the world of cosmetic dentistry have helped transform the field in many ways. Elite Prosthetic Dentistry always stays up to date on the latest and greatest in prosthodontics, allowing us to obtain only the finest technologies for our patients. Our advanced technology helps us to provide you with a high quality restoration, which also gives you a more natural appearance, ultimately helping you to look and feel your best.
Our in-house laboratory technician is highly trained in tooth morphology and anatomy, framework design, and aesthetics. With his expertise, he will precisely craft your dental restoration. In addition, our laboratory technician is on the premises and we can consult with him throughout your therapy to ensure the proper fit, esthetic match, and provide custom fit adjustments. There is no substitute for the custom work provided by a technician working chairside with the patient.
Fixing a “gummy” smile can be treated a multitude of ways, including lengthening crowns to create a “longer” appearance of the teeth as well as raising the gingival (gum) tissue up. See our portfolio example of “fixing the gummy smile” to see the possibilities with correcting that smile.
In some instances, braces are the best method for straightening teeth. However, porcelain veneers are an excellent option for those looking to do more than simply straighten their smile by simultaneously getting your individual teeth to look better as fillings are replaced and discolorations are eliminated, as well. If you are in search of an option that will straighten your teeth while enhancing shape and color, porcelain veneers are an excellent option for saving time and money.
